I really loved our February theme of treating ourselves with more love, kindness, and compassion (Thanks, @MadisonMolly2017!). I think there's a related principle to loving ourselves more that we might explore this month: reigning in our self doubt, a negative self-image, or that nagging feeling that we can't accomplish something that we want to achieve. Why don't we March all over our self doubts this month?

How do you change an unhelpful self image? One strategy recommended by James Clear is to clearly state your desired perception and then prove it to yourself with small wins. Many of our members already use this strategy when they specify their goal for the month with an affirmation like, "I am a person who values the health and fitness of body mind and soul" and "I am a person that does workouts she enjoys". These affirmations have real power to change our self-image and thus our lives, especially when backed-up with concrete, doable daily actions.

Whatever you decide to work on this month, let's make it a great March!

    My March objectives.

    I am committed to my wellness both physically and mentally.

    I am going to finish my 100 mile challenge for winter.

    I am going to continue to eat more meatless meals (includes chicken and fish).

    I got this.

    Thank you @themedalist!! So helpful!

    I am a person who shifts her priorities when the scale goes up. She makes health her first priority.

    I am a person who knows that sodium
    Increases my mouth hunger, so I keep it under 1,500mg per day

    I am a person who listens to her body AND does exercise without overdoing it.

    I’m loving your I am statements

    Inspired by your affirmations: I am a woman who stays within her calorie goal and doesn’t use exercise or emotions as an excuse to overeat. 👇 indicates staying under calorie goal.
